Then ships and resorts began implementing special, pay extra, private dining for the select few while the rest of us are stuck with the cheaper basic buffet. It is the way of the world and TV is just following along. However, I believe too much separation between "classes" so the wealthy can feel more special just leads to envy and jealousy between the haves and the have-nots and leads to more inequality. It's a slippery slope.
That said, anywhere that is so packed with people that it's standing room only or long wait lines (restaurants, squares, rec center classes, etc) is too crowded for me and I completely avoid. More and more, I take my business and spend my $$ "off the compound." For all the amenity fees, maintenance, taxes, and ridiculous bonds we pay for the "lifestyle" - no, I am NOT getting my money's worth and I am no longer enamored by TV like I was 2003-2007. It is what it is.
Peace and Season's Greetings!

If you are looking for respite from the crowding during this, the high season, you will have to look somewhere not in Florida.

I thank you and your family for your service.
